There came a warm voice from behind him. Tired, but loving.

“There you are, Craw.”

“Thank you, Craw. It’s really good to see you.”

 

“I really missed you too,” she murmured, resting her head just underneath her collarbone. “Like, really missed you.”

 

“I love you too, my darling,” she replied, sighing slightly. “I’m so glad to see you.”
